Answer 1

Ms. Johns reported to her principal that one of her students was never on task. The data would she need to collect to best support her statement include; the grades of her student and the assessment of the grades.

Grading includes letter grades, percentages, and even a simple pass/fail. Grades are attached to activities such as; writing assignments, lab work, projects, reports, and tests. They can also be assigned to activities that a teacher feels are necessary for the learning experience such as; participation, attendance, classroom behavior and even effort.

While assessing a teacher might, for example, look beyond grade averages and examine individual areas of strength and weakness. It can also be highly personalized as the teacher who has designed the course and its materials play a big role in choosing assessment goals. Since the teacher knows what information and skills intended to be imparted, the teacher is often the best judge of whether those learning objectives have been met.
